Chapter 536

"... Hmph. You're the ones who's filthy."

The goddess Gorgon coldly said, "You mindless mud, how dare you laugh like humans?"

Ritsuka shouted with joy as she saw the Lahmu being bitten to pieces by the wildly dancing snake hair.

"Thank you, Ana! You've been a huge help!"

You mean... help?

The goddess Gorgon glanced at the Chaldea her eye.

I have absolutely no interest in your affairs.

I am seeking revenge against Goddess Tiamat solely for my own reasons.

At least don't interfere with what I do with Master, Fujimaru--

You can't do anything right now. If you understand, then hurry back to Uruk.

"... Ah! I understand! I understand!"

Ritsuka Fujimaru laughed and said, "Ana has become a tsundere character like Ishtar, hasn't she!?"

Gorgon: "..."

"Mash, let's return to Uruk and join forces with King Gilgamesh."

"Yes, senior!"

The two girls decided to return to Uruk to participate in the subsequent Operation Fall to the Underworld.

"Mash!!"

"What's wrong, Mr. Shirou?"

Galahad.

"Huh...?"

"Galahad, Knights of the Round Table! That is the true name of the Heroic Spirit Origin to you!"

Shirou spoke with his back to the girl with the shield.

"The shield in your hand is the very Round Table where the knights of Britain once gathered!"

"Knights of the Round Table... Galahad..."

Mash was speechless, her mouth slightly agape.

The girl still had many questions she wanted to ask, but it was too late. She could only watch Shirou's figure grow ever more distant until it disappeared completely.

Why were you so rude to Ritsuka and the others just now?

After Ritsuka and Ishtar left, Shirou asked.

"It's nothing... that's just my normal attitude."

Shirou laughed and said, "So you're still embarrassed? Don't want them to see you like this?"

As the goddess Gorgon slaughtered the approaching Lahmu, she glared fiercely at her Master on her shoulder:

"Shut up, Shirou... Do you want to turn into stone?"

Anyway, even you think I was cuter before, right?

Without hesitation, Shirou replied, "That's not true. I love Ana the most Ana, both the past and the present."

"... Is that so?"

A slight blush appeared on Gorgon's drooping cheeks.

I guess I should just give up on the tsundere route... Hmm...

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!"

With Goddess Tiamat's roar, the black snakes that had been coiled around her were torn apart.

"Oh no... my hair can't hold up! Think of something quick, Shirou!"

Gorgon also possesses a trump Noble Phantasm: "Forced Seal - Pandemonium Cetus".

However, for someone with a temporary Spirit Origin, that is tantamount to suicide with Noble Phantasm.

If she were to use it here, she herself would perish—that's why Shirou forbade it.

"Understood! Leave the rest to me, Mother Gorgon!"

"I told you not to imitate Kingu's speech!"

Shirou floated into the air, and at the same time, a seven-colored halo appeared around his body.

"Although Gil warned me to conserve my strength..."

But my patience is almost at its limit, so I'll show you a little something first.

The Seven Halos suddenly accelerated, gradually twisting like the drill bit at the front of a rock cutter.

That was the divinity he received from Humbaba, Magical Beast in the cedar forest.

The cone of light, brimming with the Authority of calamity, pierced the horn of Goddess Tiamat of beasts.

"Aaaaaaaaaa--!!"

Shirou aimed at the spot that had been severely damaged by Coatl Quetzal, which had finally been completely severed after this attack.

Attacking Goddess Tiamat form is pointless; this would at least temporarily disable her ability to fly.

After that, Shirou and Gorgon retreated while launching a diversionary attack, guiding their mother slowly toward the target location.

After that, Shirou and Ana used all their skills and barely managed to buy Goddess Tiamat a few hours of time.

When they returned to Uruk, the Chaos Tide had already reached the city walls—fortunately, the last remaining residents had already taken refuge.

Only the heroic Heroic Spirit summoned by Gilgamesh remained steadfastly holding their ground within the city.

"My lord!" "My elder brother!"

Tomoe Gozen and Ushiwakamaru stepped forward to support the swaying Shirou.

They had just retreated back to the city from the Nabistine's Fang.

"Well done, Shirou... I certainly didn't expect you to be able to do this."

Ana has worked hard too, let's use this to replenish our energy first.

As he said this, King Gilgamesh threw two vials of potion from the golden ripples behind him and tossed them to them.

"Oh... are you Miss Ana?" Leonidas stared blankly up at the enormous serpent goddess.

"The Greece Association can do whatever it wants after everything is over; there's no time for that now."

Gilgamesh gazed toward the Persia Gulf.

Thanks to the goddesses and Shirou's hard work, the battles so far have been going very smoothly.

However, perhaps a bit of luck will be needed next.

Ereshkigal is setting up a passage to the Underworld centered around the Tower of Uruk, meaning that in order to send Goddess Tiamat to the Underworld, she must be lured to the tower.

Shirou looked down and asked, "Ereshkigal? How are the preparations for the Underworld going?"

"Give me a little... a little more time!!"

Lahmu had already stormed into the city. He thought he could go on a killing spree but couldn't find a single living person. So, after venting his anger, he rushed toward the only remaining living tower.

"Alright, you've rested enough... Hurry up and head into the city to confront Lahmu. Leave the Divine Tower to me and Shirou."

Gilgamesh summoned everyone to fight against Lahmu, while he left Shirou alone on the watchtower of the Divine Tower.

"Ishtar, escape to the skies! Fly to the top of the sky, and wait directly beneath the sun that pierces through these clouds! I will give the order shortly!"

Ishtar nodded. "... I understand, Shirou, I'll leave this guy to you."

He's clearly human, but he's overflowing with confidence. Keep an eye on him for me, don't let him do anything reckless.

"Leave it to me," Shirou replied firmly.

Thanks. I feel relieved to have you here. That's all for now, see you later!

Ishtar Shirou blew a kiss to him, then turned and left.

"Shirou, come and see... the whole view of Uruk."

The King of Heroes crossed his arms and said expressionlessly, "This is the end of a world, just one step away from disappearing from the ground."

Shirou walked to his side and slowly glanced over the city of the gods where he had lived for half a year.

Finally, he fixed his gaze on the distance.

"Here she comes, my mother whom I've been waiting for."

From the horizon where the dark sky meets the earth, a gigantic Shadow emerged from the thick fog.

Although the right corner, symbolizing great power, is damaged, it does not diminish the majesty and majesty of the mother, which is the beast that is prophesied in the last chapter of the holy book to come from the end of the sea.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaa"

Bathed in his mother's rage, Gilgamesh took out the clay tablet.

"Very well, now let me show Tiamat Uruk's last stand."

Shirou asked with a smile, "Honestly, haven't you been itching to get started?"

"Shut up! You brat, open your eyes wide and watch carefully!"

Gilgamesh infused the clay tablets with magic, and at the same time—

The ballistae mounted on the walls of Uruk —the Divine Authority Seal —resonated as if raising their magically charged muzzles simultaneously.

"Hahahaha, don't underestimate me!"

As hundreds of ballistae fired light projectiles simultaneously, Gilgamesh laughed triumphantly.

"The three hundred and sixty Divine Authority Seal (dingir) set up at the city gates were all made by me, imbued with magic, and under my control!"

As long as you drive this body with the determination to die, you can achieve the kind of collective control you have now!

The light projectiles streaked across the sky like a meteor shower before crashing down upon Tiamat's colossal form.

Although it could not cause any tolerance or harm, the fierce and continuous impact still made her roar angrily and slow her pace considerably.

"The task of stopping Goddess Tiamat will ultimately be finished off by me, the king!"

While sweating profusely and speaking excitedly, the King of Heroes glanced at Shirou out of the corner of his eye.

Shirou's lips twitched speechlessly: This guy... he's definitely trying to compete with me, isn't he?

But there's nothing we can do about it. After being stuck at home in the office for almost a year, they must be really bored...

"!!"

A chill ran down Shirou's spine.

It's less of an "Instinct" and more of a kind of "premonition" brought about by divinity.

The distant Goddess Tiamat slowly raised her head.

A beam of light shot out from the star-shaped eye of the cross.

Almost at the same time, Shirou rushed in front of Gilgamesh.

"!"

A tremendous explosion resounded through the heavens and the earth, sending plumes of smoke and dust billowing into the sky.

When the smoke cleared, Gilgamesh saw Shirou's back as he stood in front of him.

The Goddess of Creation's deadly beam was blocked by the shield Projection by Shirou.

However, due to the suddenness of the event, this Projection could not be considered perfect.
